Trestle tables can be arranged to allow simple catering to be served.
As the kitchen facilities are limited, the space is best suited to light refreshments and cold food rather than full hot catering.
For many families this offers a simple and practical way to bring everyone together after the service in a setting that feels calm, respectful and private.
